The band started out as a small Blues Trio in early 1990, and through the vision of founder Ted “Madman” Kowal, our lineup soon included an always-energetic horn section. Since the late 1990’s our repertoire has evolved to present the music styles foremost in our hearts: Soul, R&B, Funk…. as well as the Blues. Under the musical direction of Tony Flores since 2002, along with strong vocals, blazing horns and a rock-solid rhythm section, you have Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns – Still groovin’ and going strong into 2012 and beyond. Sharing a few of our musical inspirations, we give you a a taste of the soulful and heartfelt performances of Willie Mitchell, James Brown, Little Milton, Howard Tate, Eddie Floyd, Tyrone Davis and Joe Cocker. We round out our selection with the funky soul of Tower of Power.

We are very excited to welcome Vaughn Willis to Westside this Friday night. Come ready to dance the night away with one of the hottest performers in the Phoenix-Metro Area...
About Vaughn:
"SWIF" (born Vaughn Willis) is a dynamic singer and musician from Detroit, MI. SWIF was taught to sing by his mother at a very young age. His dad played the organ in church, and wowed crowds with his skills on the harmonica. Influenced by his father, Vaughn was given his first harmonica at the age of 4 and he has never stopped playing. SWIF never received significant formal musical training, but because he was raised around singers and musicians, his ear for music is very strong and has helped him learn to play the piano, bass, guitar, harmonica, and even hand percussion instruments.
Reservations only held until start of music. Specific seating first come, first served. Sorry, no refunds.
Premium Seating includes sofas and bucket seats. General Admission is restricted to high-top tables and bar seating.

Come join us as we welcome Dave Jordan back to Westside, for one night only!
A little about Dave:
A critically acclaimed, 3 decade staple of the New Orleans and south Louisiana music scene, Dave has been described as a swampy lovechild of Tom Petty, John Prine and Dr. John and “the personification of the New Orleans ethos”.
As a national touring act, he has performed from Alaska to Key West, from Maui to Maine, and all points in between. Much like his legendary road warrior ways, his music freely flows between New Orleans funk, country, blues and rock and roll; a potent blend of Americana storytelling and south Louisiana roots music. “Diversity that defies categorization." - An Honest Tine
A 1 time winner and 4 time finalist in New Orleans’ OffBeat magazine’s Best of the Beat awards, he’s been lauded as “one of New Orleans’ great songsmiths and bandleaders of my generation” by musician and long time WWOZ DJ Marc Stone.
